1) Submit your site to Search Engines
Yes, let's send each Search Engine's spider a personal invitation to visit your site.
Baby-simple: go to the Search Engine that's important to you, and type in "add URL to name_of_the_search_engine", then follow the link you see, enter the necessary data and thus submit your website to this Search Engine.
Note! Search Engines don't expect you to submit all your webpages (just think of some forums that have a few thousand pages — the owner would go crazy submitting them!). All you have to do is submit your homepage.
Want an example? Here we go with Yahoo!.
I go to http://www.yahoo.com , type in add URL to Yahoo,
follow the necessary link ( http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html ) in the results page,
and get to the page where I enter my website's URL.
Submit your site to all Search Engines that you think are important, and the crawler will come to your site to look at it. What Search Engines are a must for you? First of all, these are: Google.com, Yahoo.com and Bing.com. For your convenience, here're the pages from which you start in these three:

If you expect clients to come from, say, Belgium or Germany, it's good to submit to their regional versions like Yahoo.de or Google.be. Also, if there's a special local Search Engine in your country, like Yandex in Russia, or Seznam in Czech Republic, it's also important to you.
Note! It won't take much of your time to submit to search engines, but it may take quite a long time till the crawler visits your site. In my practice, it took up to 6 weeks. And, it also depends on the Search Engine.

For instance, the elder of my sons Mike launched his personal website 16 days ago, and it got indexed by Google the day before yesterday, but he's still waiting for Yahoo!'s crawler to come.
For this reason, here's another thing I believe you should do:
2) Put a FAT link to your website
Quite logically: if the Google spider loves some web page and visits it quite often, and that page has a link to your site, then this Google crawler will be happy to follow the link and look at your site, too. Same thing about other Search Engines.
So here's what I'm driving at: try to get a link from some respected web page with a good Page Rank (preferably 4 and above).

DO IT NOW! Submit your website to search engines, or put a good link to your site, or do both.
